Tim's Walker of the Week Vrwc Road Races, Middle Park HEEL AND TOE ONLINE The official organ of the Victorian Race Walking Club 2012/2013 Number 31 30 April 2013 VRWC Preferred Supplier of Shoes, clothes and sporting accessories. Address: RUNNERS WORLD, 598 High Street, East Kew, Victoria (Melways 45 G4) Telephone: 03 9817 3503 Hours : Monday to Friday: 9:30am to 5:30pm Saturday: 9:00am to 3:00pm Website: http://www.runnersworld.com.au/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Runners-World/235649459888840 TIM'S WALKER OF THE WEEK This week I go across the Tasman for my Walker of the Week and focus on New Zealand's top walker Quentin Rew. Quentin, now based at Leeds in England, won the Naumburg 20km roadwalk on Sunday in a time of 1:22:16, a 40 second PB and yet another A qualifier in the leadup to this year's IAAF World Championships in Russia. Quentin has made huge inroads into his times over the past 18 months and was one of the big improvers in the Olympic 50km where he finished 30th in a PB of 3:55:03. Since then, he has been racing superbly over the shorter distances, recording 19:52.43 for 5000m in Athlone in Ireland and 1:22:56 for 20km in Lugano last month. Now he has improved even further with his first New Zealand record. Sunday's performance took four seconds off Craig Barrett's national record set in Adelaide in 1998. Quentin went through the first 5km mark in 20:44 and then walked each subsequent 5km faster, recording 20:41, 20:27 and 20:24, to win the race by 21s. He has already been named in the New Zealand team for the world championships in Moscow in August, in the 50km race walk event but has now shown his all round talent with his two 20km A qualifiers.

The day clashed with the AV Cross Country Relays so a number of our walkers were missing but we still saw 84 competitors and large fields in all divisions. And the big news is that the day ran smoothly all with events getting off on time and no issues. Terry Swan was there with his camera and has uploaded a good variety of photos to our photo gallery at http://www.vrwc.org.au/coppermine/. All photos are labelled so you can always search on your name and the date of the event to make life easier. Stuart Cooper sends our results in each week to the Melbourne Age and the Melbourne Herald Sun and most times they do get a guernsey. This week, they didn't make it into the Herald Sun but they did make it into the Age online results - see http://www.theage.com.au/sport/results/sport-results-for-saturday-april-27-20130427-2im6h.html. And a special welcome to all our first time walkers this week - Donna Urquhart, Milly and Marley Berntsen, Taylor Vasiljevic, Nikola Mandic, Mackenzie Mielczarek, Natalie and Bianca Morrow, Kate Daly, Meg Sparkes, Alexandra Charlotte and Angus Hay, Clare Noonan, Angela Lane and Marcus Byron. And welcome back to Megan Szirom (over from Adelaide), Nicole Hallett and Cassie Raselli. Our events this week were points events, meaning that all current club members were vying for Actual Time, Handicap and Style Award points. Note that handicaps points can only be allocated if the walker has subsequently walked that or a similar distance in the recent pass in VRWC competition. That means that first up walkers can't get Handicap points this week but they will be eligible on our next points day. You can read more about our points competitions at http://www.vrwc.org.au/vrwcpointscomps.shtml. The 8km Open event saw Megan Szirom 41:12 and Simon Evans 41:07 walk very impressively to take line honours while Emily Hamilton 48:20 and Cody McNicol-Davidson scored maximum handicap points. 8km Open Time Hcp 1.

Competing in Round 1 of the Athletics Victoria Shield competition in Melbourne last Saturday, he nailed the 2000m walk with a superb 7:39.1. That's not too far off his PB of 7:29 and confirms his early season form. With the 2016 Olympics beckoning, I am sure he will be pulling out all stops this summer so stay tuned!

All we can do at this stage is hope for the best. The NO campaign has been well run and has gained support from almost the entire world wide racewalking community. Let's not lose sight of what we want. • Keep the current 20km / 50km as the international racewalking distances until after the 2024 Olympics. • Use this extended timeframe to properly test the new shoe insert technology. • Work to enhance the current 20km / 50km events to make them more attractive to the general viewing public. • Visit this issue (if it still exists) again in 2024 once the shoe insert technology has been deemed to work (or not!) A few final bits and pieces from the last few days of the ongoing campaign. First, we have been getting some publicity from a few major news outlets. Here are a few snippets • Athletics Weekly article (https://www.athleticsweekly.com/news/race-walkers-unite-to-save-their-sport-1039921331/) • Article from Greek sports site sportsfeed.gr (http://sportsfeed.gr/2019/03/07/oi-vadistes-ksesikonontai-kai-pali-kata-ton-

But Matsunaga was race walking even faster and had closed the gap to two seconds, while China’s Zelin Cai decided to protectively cover the two men in front of him and had pushed hard to remove himself from the pack.

This remained the state of affairs until Wang, a much more fluent and elegant race walker than his teammate, made his decisive bid for glory with three kilometres to go.

For Jared, it was another fantastic top-eight finish and it was in the lesser of his two Olympic events. With the Olympic 50km event this week, Jared upped the ante even further, taking his second successive Olympic 50km silver medal and recording a 2+ minute PB time of 3:36:53, also breaking the Olympic record into the bargain. What a performance! Walker of the Week! 50KM MEN'S RACEWALK, OLYMPIC GAMES, THE MALL, LONDON, SATURDAY 11 AUGUST 2012 The men's Olympic 50km walk started at 9AM at the Mall in London and I was one of the many spectators who lined the 2km loop to cheer on the contestants. My report on the Men's 50km Race Walk is taken from that of Dave Martin for the IAAF (see http://www.iaaf.org/Mini/OLY12/News/NewsDetail.aspx?id=67421) Sergey Kirdyapkin, the man to be beaten having won the IAAF World Race Walking Cup in Saransk in May, shattered the existing record of 3:37:09 with a decisive victory.

Competing in our latest 5km roadwalk at Middle Park on Saturday, he powered to a 36 second PB of 23:31. He has done PBs over a range of distances this winter season, including 51:58 for 10km, but I suspect that particular one is going to take a hiding pretty soon. He came 2nd in the U16 3km at the LBG Carnival in June (14:24) and is another young walker on the rise. Well done Heath!

Address: RUNNERS WORLD, 598 High Street, East Kew, Victoria (Melways 45 G4) Telephone: 03 9817 3503 Hours: Monday to Friday: 9:30am to 5:30pm Saturday: 9:00am to 3:00pm Website: http://www.runnersworld.com.au Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Runners-World/235649459888840 WHAT’S HAPPENING NEXT IN AUSTRALIA At this stage of the year, Australian walkers would normally be gearing up for the summer season, with track races getting underway in the next month or so.

You can see links to all Paul’s articles at the bottom of webpage http://www.vrwc.org.au/save-the-50km.shtml. WORLD ATHLETICS DOLLARS AND CENTS: DOOM AND GLOOM By Paul F. DeMeester World Athletics finally published its first annual financial report on 10 September 2020. A special Congress was convened in late 2016 to enact reform and transparency.
